The rest of the year to November.

 My cute cousin took some pictures of the kids at the park across from the temple. They were really hot and grumpy but they turned out cute. I had to bribe them with 7-11 after.

 More scouts. This time we went to the Police Station and met the dog named Monte.

 We really hated the steps at our new house. Dad decided to rip out the old and put in new. We had lots of help from family and neighbors. They will be really great when we get our yard done. Little Bro is so obsessed with tractors and trucks. The day the tractors came to do the rocks he sat and watched for hours.

 The little stinker wanted to help. She is so cute.
Big Bro got sick one day. He took a nap with the dog. The kids love Brutus. I am not a dog person at all but I love how much my kids love him.

7th grade cheer was a nightmare. The Cheer moms were so great and the girls were so great. The high school coach was great too. The gym and the other coaches were very hard to deal with. They were not organized at all. They squad learned their routine a week before comp. We were all so stressed. But, when you have some very talented and hard working boys and girls. You win! They went to 2 competitions. They won 1st at the first one. At the second they won first and over all high point! That means they beat all of the 6th 7th 8th and 9th grade teams. There were squads from Lehi, Lone Peak, AF, PG, Provo and Mtn View. These guys kicked butt! I am so proud of her for working so hard. She really loves it. She is getting her back tuck and layout. Next year will be great. It keeps her in really good shape. At camp they went on a hike and got lost. She was the only one who could keep up with her Dad. She said she was glad she was in shape and could go without getting tired.

 Funny little girl.

This is the picture I took to hang on the wall by the boys toys. I am kind of a freak when it comes to being organized. It has actually worked! They have been putting things back the way I like them. I know I should relax and let them be messy. But lets face it. The whole family is happier when Mom is happy. Right?

Once again our pictures turned out awesome. We are awesome and our photographer is awesome. I love them!

It has been a great year. We are so very blessed. Daddy has a great job. He has great people to work with. He has had a great year. He is one of the top Salesmen. He won and iPod and iPad and a trip to Dominican Republic. Me and Big Sis are now enjoying his hard work because we got them for Christmas. The kids are happy and healthy. After tons and tons of stress and praying we were able to buy our new house. I know we were meant to be in this house. We ended up in the 3rd house in our same ward. Now Dad is in the Bishopric. It is a lot of time and work but we are blessed because of it. I have been having fun decorating and painting. As I sit here my honey is out building frames for my new family pictures. I will take some after pictures of my latest work and post those so all can see. I am so lucky to have him. I still need to post November and December. I will get around to that eventually. Happy New Year!

2011 is over! Now for the whole year since I am a slacker.

 In March Big Bro. got to go to another Jazz event. Ronnie Price was such a nice guy.

 He also got his Wolf Award. Good job. I get to work with the cute little Wolves. They are sure full of energy, but lots of fun!

 Dress up party with some of our very great friends. They came down about 5 times dressed in something different each time.

 Big Bro turned 9! He had a family Bday this year. So he chose Jump on it and sushi.

 Spring Break was once again freezing cold. We did a few fun things. The main attraction was the zoo. Some days I think I live in a zoo. These kids get so silly and crazy.

 Big Sis got to be in 2 Shakespeare plays this year. She was Lady Olivia, the star of the show. She lives to be on stage and perform. She is a great Drama Queen. ( That boy with his arm a round my baby is the boy she likes. He likes her too. They were married in the play. It was so funny. They still like each other in Jr. High. I know his mom and she is great. I just can't believe she is growing up so fast. It makes me want to cry.)

 Little Bro. finally lost a tooth. The dentist had to help.

 These next pictures are from my Grandpas Birthday. We had a huge party with all the family. We lost him 2 weeks later. He is a huge inspiration in my life. He took care of us in so many ways. I am so lucky to have such wonderful grandparents.

 These girls are my best friends. We are the dancing girls. Every year when we were little we would have a Christmas Eve Party. Our Aunts taught us a dance and we would perform for the family. My Grandpa requested a performance for his birthday. We were just as good as we were when we were little.

The girls had their tumbling recital. Little Sis did the gummy bear song. She was so cute. She was most excited about the makeup she got to wear. Big Sis is getting really good. She once again gave a dramatic performance. Like I said, she lives to be on stage.

 Ballet Recital for Big Sis. Cute Ash brought her flowers. She is a natural ballerina but she decided to choose Cheer. It was a hard choice. I guess she will have a hard life since she is so good at everything.

 Little Sis had her first year of preschool graduation.

 The 6th grade dance was a huge thing for Big Sis. The teachers chose the partners. She lucked out and got to dance with the ONE!

 First Grade was so great for Little Bro. He got the teacher we wanted. She is so amazing.

 3rd Grade for Big Bro. He had a great year with some of his best buddies.

 Big Sis was in ALL for 5th and 6th grade. She had the same kids both years. They all became so close. Her teacher is amazing. She is a favorite of all the kids she has. A few of them went ot visit her just the other day. Sis was so lucky.

 So begins Summer and  7th grade cheer. More to come on that later.

 The little kids finally can ride their bikes.  They are a little timid. I made them get out there and do it. It was lots of screaming, I can't do it. As soon as I let go they both took off. It is nice we live where there are empty streets so they can ride all over.

 YYYEEEEE     HHHHAAAAAWWWWW. We love the rodeo!!!!!!

 My baby girl turned 12! This is big time. It makes me feel so old. She got some mascara and ran right up to put it on. This is all she is allowed to wear. She comes down daily with a TON of makeup on. We have some major battles over it. We had a family Bday and headed up to Bear Lake.

 Tubing on Grandpas boat is the kids favorite. This year the water was so high. There was no beach. There was trees in the water. So crazy.

 The boys spent most of every day shooting potguts off the deck. They got about 20 to 30 each day. YUCK. We could even hear them squeaking as they died.

 The white trash water slide. Grandma put dish soap on it to make it really slick. They had fun!

 I got to take the scouts to day camp. It was tons of fun. We had so many boys. Our ward split  a couple months after this.

 Big Sis at girls camp. She had a great time. Daddy got to go help. I signed him up to go without him knowing. But then a week before camp he was called as Second Counselor in the Bishopric so he had to go any way. I was able to go up with the other wives and spend the last day. It was so fun. I have the best memories from Girls Camp. I am excited to go this year again.

 Freezing Cold water. They all took a shower in it. I could barely stand to have my feet in it.

 Daddy on the rope swing. He is so crazy.

The lake was so pretty. There were so many wild flowers.

Back to School. I have a 7th grader, a 4th grader, a 2nd grader, and a 5 year old preschooler. I am so old.
